Factories remain operational, according to Remulla. He said employees must always bring their work IDs to avoid hassle in police checkpoints.
He said public transportation would be allowed provided that it will be used by essential workers.
He also said construction would be allowed at full capacity subject to monitoring and enforcement of the Department of Public Works and Highways, local government units, and the Department of Labor and Employment.
Remulla, meanwhile, said curfew hours is from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., while liquor ban is upon the discretion of the town mayors.
